  1. need some help with old computer

    Thanks guys... I have a win 7 comp avail...I really just did not want to go through the trouble of reinstalling the program and what not. The computer does not hold any vital files as they are all on my main computer and we open them across the network.... at least I think that was the way...
  2. need some help with old computer

    I run my Gerber Edge off of an old computer running....now don't laugh too hard.... it runs on win2000. The issue started last week when the computer went totally dead. I figured if nothing is working then the power supply is the problem. I had an old spare at home and brought it in hooked it...
  3. Why do designers really not understand us sign people?

    yes but in my head saving every individual piece of artwork separately in it's own file is way more tedious than grouping them all together and just working in one document.
  4. Why do designers really not understand us sign people?

    I don't know about you, but I feel like I waste so much time trying to explain to designers that I don't need each piece of a job in a separate file and then they do just that. Case in point... I quote a job of individual graphics for a company that will be placed in different offices. A...

  7. JV3-160 SP Not Printing at all?

    Take the wiper out and clean it with the cleaning fluid and clean the holder real well. Get down into the rails and clean them...move the wiper holder manually forward to get all the gunk build up in there as well.... You should be doing this sort of maintenenace at least once a week to prevent...
  8. JV3-160 SP Not Printing at all?

    I think that wiper message means that the wiper has become jammed during a sleep clean. The machine stays on until you press enter and not doing any cleanings I believe. You need to clean the wiper area real well...the tracks will be pretty gummed up with solvent . clean everything and run a...

  14. the laziness of customers and their expectations

    I picked up a new customer recently that is in the decal business. They do however get calls for cut vinyl and for some reason, even though they have the equipment to do this, they don't want to and send it to me and they resell it. I love doing this kind of work as files are provided and the...

    Out of curiosity, just what is the monthly subscription rate? Is it endless? Does the subscription cover the cost of the software or is it an add on to the $$$ you spend on the initial purchase of said software? I am a Flexi user for print only but have not upgraded to any Cloud service...

  18. cutting backs of decals for easy peeling

    The only reason I have found to do this is if they are die cut right to the edge and you cant separate the decal from the edge of the paper. if your printing them in house and cutting them on a plotter, there really is no reason to slit the backs... There is a hand tool you can buy to do it...
